Will flower well in full sun

Blooming marvellous. A dahlia variety that flowers in the garden all summer long (July to October) with its fantastic contrast of golden yellow flowers and stunning red core. Make some space in your vases too for these lovely flowers to adorn the indoors as well as the outdoors.

These low maintenance plants stand tall and handsome in flowerbeds and pots. We recommend planting in sets of three or five for maximum impact. Simply plant the bulb-like structure in the soil in spring and then watch the dahlias grow into beautiful tall flowers.

We give you 1 plump bulb-like structure that looks a bit like some knobbly root-ginger you’d buy from the shops. Plant it in the centre of a pot that’s 12in (30cm) in diameter. Surround with some bedding plants while you await the dahlia’s beautiful blossom.

Alternatively grow the bulb in a flower bed giving the plant a square foot (30cm²) of space to develop.

Grow in pots with compost suitable for bedding to ensure the plants have the best soil to grow and thrive in. If you grow them in flower beds mix some compost in with the existing soil to give your flowers the best soil to grow in.

How your plants arrive

Your plant arrives to you as a bulb-like structure that looks a bit like root-ginger. Once planted in spring, it sprouts to develop lovely leaves and a handsome flower spike through the summer.

The bulb arrives in a plastic bag with ventilation holes so that the bulb gets plenty of air. This ensures the bulb is kept healthy and prevents the bulb from rotting, which can affect the health of the plant when it’s growing.

Check your bulb-like structure is firm, plump and free of mould or bruises.

Can’t plant straight away?

All you need to do is make sure the bulb is kept in its ventilated bags and kept in a cool, dry place with good air circulation. Look to planting in its permanent position within 5-7 days.
